She introduced herself saying,"I'm Kesha, I love you so much. Can I give you a hug?""No, thanks," the comedian responded, twice.But Kesha wasn't going to give up that easily. She tried again asking, "Please? A little one?"Seinfeld wasn't giving in, repeating once more, "Yeah, no thanks.""I don't know who that was," he admitted, but upon learning her identity said, "I wish her the best."Despite all the press hype surrounding the red carpet gaffe, Kesha appeared to be in good spirits Tuesday, writing an uplifting Twitter post that read: "lots to smile about."
